Mele Kyari, NNPCL group chief executive officer, has urged stakeholders and Nigerians to refrain from issuing congratulatory messages on his reappointment.

Mr Kyari, in a statement issued on Wednesday by NNPCL spokesman Olufemi Soneye, expressed gratitude to stakeholders and Nigerians for their enthusiasm regarding his reappointment by President Bola Tinubu.

However, he expressed the need for commitment by all the stakeholders to drive revenue growth and fortify resilience for the naira and the nation’s economy.

Mr Kyari said he viewed his reappointment as a renewed challenge and expressed his commitment to stabilising the oil industry and enhancing service delivery for increased revenue.

“I humbly appeal to stakeholders in the oil sector and fellow Nigerians to support the company under his leadership to ensure the success of its mandate.

“Consequently, I request all parties concerned to refrain from issuing congratulatory messages on his reappointment,” the statement said.
